Tips and Ideas for Using Webhooks

If you’re ready to unlock one of the most powerful tools in the Launch Point Ecosystem, start integrating webhooks. Webhooks are a data interaction tool that gives marketers the power to create custom flow actions based on a network of hundreds of pre-existing and user-defined databases. Consultants Justin Norris and Adam Hodgden recently shared helpful information about web hooks during one of our free Office Hour sessions.

Use of Webhooks

Justin believes that webhooks are not used frequently enough. Webhooks push or pull data from another URL when a user takes action, creating an engagement or enriching your database, automatically.In response to specific actions when using marketing automation, some users have set up webhooks to:

trigger tactile marketing moments

send gift packages, thank-you cards and post cards

automatically send a text message to sales representatives when a prospect or client attends an event

push lead data directly to an external analytics platform or Salesforce

ClearBit and CrunchBase integration aggregates user data from public social media profiles and other external sources. Imagine using big data to see that a large portion of your most loyal clients were cigar enthusiasts. Information like that might impact your decision to publish a lung cancer article on your company blog or place ads directly targeting cigar smokers. A bigger tool kit broadens your horizons.Instead of analyzing revenue cycles intuitively, you can use data to tweak your pipeline and funnel, maximizing what works best and minimizing what’s ineffective. With just a few clicks, you can create visual timelines of engagement. For an individual client, your organization looks professional and organized. For large groups of clients, you can ensure that your process is meeting their needs. If 40% of your users in Minneapolis decide to purchase or unsubscribe after reading the week 3 email, you’d want to know about it.
